Near complete T2T genome assembly of the banded goonch (Bagarius rutilus)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The order Siluriformes, a hyperdiverse teleost clade with over 3,000 species, exemplifies adaptive radiation through significant phenotypic innovations such as aerial respiration. However, the limited availability of high-quality genomes, particularly in underrepresented families such as Sisoridae, has hindered phylogenomic and mechanistic studies of their ecological diversification. Here, we present a nearly complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of Bagarius rutilus (Banded Goonch) generated by a hybrid sequencing approach integrating PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore ultra-long and Hi-C technologies. The 618.3 Mb genome (contig N50 = 21.06 Mb, scaffold N50 = 25.46 Mb) was resolved into 26 chromosomes, achieving a genome coverage of 98.17%. The quality of the assembly was validated by a BUSCO score of 97.5% (Actinopterygii_odb10) and high conservation of synteny with other catfish species. Based on RNA sequencing, homology-based and de novo annotation, we identified 29,106 protein-coding genes. This chromosome-level genome represents one of the highest quality Siluriformes assemblies to date and provides a critical resource for reconstructing adaptive landscapes and exploring the genetic basis of phenotypic innovation in catfish.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
